COACH OF THE WEEK
 For the eleventh consecutive year the Buffalo Bills Coach of the Week program has honored local high school football coaches in Western New York. Each week, during the 11-week high school football season, a committee appointed by the Buffalo Bills, selects a head football coach. The honoree receives a special certificate signed by Bills Head Coach Dick Jauron, Bills General Manager Marv Levy, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, along with a Buffalo Bills Coach of the Week Cap that designates him as a winner of the award. Each honoree will also receive a $1,000 donation from the Buffalo Bills Youth Foundation to be used towards their high school football program. At the end of the season, one of the weekly award winners will be named the "Coach of the Year" and will receive an additional $1,000 donation. All head football coaches in Western New York are eligible, regardless of their school's division or affiliation.
